THE SISTERHOOD OF THE WORLD BLOGGERS AWARD.

We would like to start by thankingThe A -Philosopher’s Chair for nominating us to “The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award”. To our surprise we received a second nomination while getting our answers to the questionnaire of our first nomination ready. We truly appreciate your nomination as well, Missienelly (mymyooz.wordpress.com).

When we started our blog, not that long ago, we did not know what to expect and finding other bloggers who seem to appreciate what we try to do to the point of nominating us feels like an undeserved prize.

Without further a due, we will get on with answering the questions included in our first nomination:

1. Which side are you on: (A) « La parole est d’argent, mais le silence est d’or. » (“Speech is silver, but silence is golden.”) or (B) “If there are people who truly want to live on in this world, they should first speak, laugh, cry, scold and fight without fear, chasing away this cursed era in this cursed place!”?

We have to go for “B”, since our blog exists thanks to the many opinion/voices of hard working Kdrama recappers and we look forward to finding many more.

2. Is there a book author or blogger whose tone of writing reminds you of a close friend or mentor?

The short answer is no. However, we find there are certain Kdrama writers, we would love to have as friends or mentors. The Hong Sisters, based on the stories of their dramas, would be the ideal company for a crazy girl’s night out.

On the other hand, Jung Sung Joo would seem like an obvious choice for a mentor. However, his latest drama/dark comedy is making us re-think which camp we would put him in.

3. What is the first word you utter after waking up? & 4. What is the first word someone says to you in the morning?

“Update” is the word we hear and say first, being the first thing we think of and say to ourselves. Since starting our blog “updating” (looking for all the recaps published overnight with a coffee in hand) has become part of our morning routine.

We also feel the pressure of saying our fans should come first.

5. Black, white or grey?

We are going for “GREY”. In Kdrama terms we have not found a drama so bad that we could not watch it. We always seem to find a saving grace for them. Call it PoA (Jang Geun Suk aka Prince of Asia) in “Bel Ami” or Kim Sun Ah in “Scent of a woman”.

On the other hand, we are yet to encounter the perfect Kdrama. We always pick on something. Go Eun Chan’s mother’s dealings and wheeling’s with the neighbourhood ahjussis in “Coffee Prince” or how the 1 ½ hr length of the episodes of “Misaeng” made them almost as dull as the office life it portrayed.

6. Thunderstorm or drizzle?

It depends on the mood of the day, so both. Sometimes we feel like watching something explosive, loud and intense like a thunderstorm.

Some other days we just want to wrap up and indulge in something mild and gentle like a drizzle.

9. If there is such a thing as DNA of the spirit (e.g. in terms of never-say-die mentality) that is independent of biological connections, which historical figure would you trace your genealogy to?

The historical figure in Kdramaland we choose is Shin Mi Rae in City Hall. Aside from everything she achieved for Inju’s citizens, we also look up to her because of things like this:

10. Between a rock and a hard place: does the choice make a difference?

No. An example could be: Watching the train wreck that is “Hyde, Jekyll and I” or missing Hyun Bin’s comeback after a 4 year break.

Wrapping up, our nominees, in alphabetical order are:

Beatus Cornerbecause our inner geeks feel very grateful for this daily updated source of information and data on Kdramas.

Everyone atCouch Kimchi because our coffee breaks would not be the same without their magazine pictorials’ posts. (side note: at the moment we also share the love/hate for Japanese contemporary dancers)

Junggugeo Kaenada & Only atNoonas Over Forksbecause those mouth-watering food posts and their Kdrama posts are the perfect combo for us.

Thank you so much for nominating us & congrats for your double nominations. We’ve answered the questions on our blog ^^
Btw, omg that gorilla scene… and that train-wrecked Hyde Jekyll, I… I tried for the sake of Hyun Bin because I really missed him in KDramaland but… I had to drop it & read the recaps instead. Hopefully he’ll choose a much better project next time.
